Some upcoming events to think about for Cockpit talks
by Josh Berkus 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

Cockpit Devs: As we talked about earlier, we need to expose more Linux users to Cockpit. As such, I wanted to let you know about a few upcoming conferences which are heavily patronized by Linux admins and would be a good place to start: Usenix LISA https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa17 Deadline Monday, April 24, 2017, 11:59 pm PDT Open Source Summit (was LinuxCon) http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/open-source-summit-north-america Deadline May 6, 2017 Open Source Summit Prague http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/open-source-summit-europe Deadline July 8, 2017 ... there will be others as the calendar progresses (as well as Meetups). If anyone is interested in presenting to external audiences about Cockpit, please let me know ... I can help with reviewing conference submissions, travel funding and more. -- -- Josh Berkus Project Atomic Red Hat OSAS

Cockpit UX enhancements for Grafton.
by Devyani Kota 18 Jul '17

18 Jul '17

Hello all, This is Devyani Kota, part of the RHGS team at RedHat, currently contributing to the Gluster storage plugin for cockpit-ovirt. We have created a few mockups for the same, that are attached along with the mail. We plan to add the 'Gluster' info under the Storage Tab listed on the overview page. Under this "Gluster" Tab, we will be listing: 1. The information of the hosts in the cluster, labelling the host machine which is the hosted-engine. 2. The volumes on every host, and their respective info like, the device that they are mounted on, the size of the disk that they occupy, etc. The mockups listed give a clear picture of the concept, and a simple overview on what we are trying to achieve. Any reviews/suggestions on the same will be appreciated :) Looking forward to the feedback. Thanks and regards, Devyani Kota. -- Devyani Kota [image: https://]about.me/devyanikota <https://about.me/devyanikota?promo=email_sig>

Anyone using storybook w/ react.js?
by Tom McKay 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

The project I was working on, foreman[1], has started using react.js and redux for portions of the UI. I have done any work in this area before but noticed that cockpit has a good number of jsx files. Has anyone set up storybook[1] to do dev work on cockpit?

dev setup for image registry with minishift
by Tom McKay 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Wondering how others do dev work on the image registry portion of cockpit. Here's what I'm trying... I have minishift running in a VM w/ the registry bits turned on and accessible. Separate VM has my cockpit dev env set up but the "Image Registry" tab says simply "Couldn't connect to server". Debugging I see it's trying to use localhost but that there are a couple env vars that I could potentially set. My attempts have not worked, though. It is also calling kubectl I think so should I manually config that on the cockpit VM? Suggestions welcome!

Hackfest on Virtual Machines in Karlsruhe
by Stef Walter 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Many of the Cockpit folks are having a Hackfest in Karlsruhe, Germany from the 26th of June until the 30th. You might have already heard about this from other postings on this mailing list. This is a targeted hackfest: VM and libvirt support in Cockpit is the focus. If you do want to join in to work on the VM functionality, ping us on IRC at #cockpit on Freenode or reply to this email. It's likely that we'll be having another Hackfest in Autumn that will be more broad, both in what we work on, and the people who decide to come. Cheers, Stef

Cockpit modules repository
by Tiago Machado 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

Hi all, we are currently using Cockpit (a lot) and we love it ! But there's one thing we miss about cockpit: modules from the community. I think it would be great if we had a standard procedure to publish modules for cockpit on GitHub. If everybody use, for example, a predefined name, like cockpit-module-contrib-MODULE_NAME it would be easier to create a repository of cockpit modules and then we could even add an interface for managing the installed modules, where you can download/remove modules. I'm thinking about something similar to what we have on Node-RED ( https://github.com/node-red/node-red) There we have a standard name for external modules (node-red-contrib-NODE_NAME) and they could create a repo of node (https://flows.nodered.org/ ) where we already have more than 1500 modules (and counting). There's even an UI inside Node-RED where it's possible to manage and download new modules.

Cockpit 143
by Martin Pitt 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-143.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 143. "Software Updates" page for package based operating systems ----------------------------------------------------------- There is a new "Software Updates" page for classic dnf/yum/apt based systems, to complement the already existing one for OSTree on Atomic. This uses the PackageKit API for platform independence. This feature is shipped in the new "cockpit-packagekit" sub-package. http://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/feature-packagekit.html Video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/BENWI-dTKMs Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6724 Inline VNC consoles ------------------- The inline VNC console advertised in Cockpit 142 was not actually working from the released "cockpit-machine" package due to a packaging problem. Cockpit 143 corrects this problem. Thanks to Marek Libra! Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6922 Kubernetes RBAC authorization support ------------------------------------- The Kubernetes page can now be used to log into Kubernetes installations that use RBAC authorization (https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/) Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6921 RPM packages for IBM Z systems ------------------------------ The "cockpit-docker" RPM package is now being built on the s390x (IBM Z Systems) architecture, as the Fedora Docker package is available there. Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1462113 Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6954 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 143 is available in Fedora 26: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-143-1.fc26 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/143 Take care, Martin Pitt

Accessing host's files
by Tiago Machado 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

Hi folks, I'm currently developing a package to set the display resolution/orientation/rate using Xrandr command suit. It's already working good but now I need to store my configs on X11 config file (in order to persist the config as mentioned here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xrandr#Configuration ). My question is: what is the best way to manage files using cockpit ? I'm currently throwing bash commands for that and in my opinion it's not looking good. Thanks !
